Question 1

what can be done for a teen with  really low self esteem?

Accepted Answer

Self esteem: Comes from doing things you're proud of & not distorting or denigrating your accomplishments, abilities & basic human worth.  Help the person be successful.  If the person thinks negatively & distorts or denigrates their accomplishments, abilities or basic worth as a human being, get the person into counseling.  Low self-esteem can lead to depression & self harm.

Question 2

how can i help a  pre teen lose weight without giving her a self esteem problem?

Accepted Answer

Play more outside: A good place to start is to consult with her doctor. The doctor can identify healthy goals for weight-loss, provide support, and monitor progress. It can help if the whole family joins a weight-loss plan, which is really a healthy lifestyle plan regardless of weight. Increasing active playing and limiting time with social and sedentary entertainment media can help. Kids feel better moving more.

Accepted Answer

Uneven skin color: Consult a dermatologist for advice in trying to even the color difference. Make-up tricks may help. If all fails to camouflage the problem, then consult a therapist to help you accept yourself and regain your self confidence.

Question 4

what can i do to boost self-esteem?

Accepted Answer

Help someone daily: I firmly believe that one of the best ways to help self-esteem is to make sure that not a day in your life passes that you do not reach out to say something kind to someone else or help someone else. I think if you start there you willl find your self-esteem will start to lift. Also make sure that you are very centered in your spirituality. Volunteering to help.  Cognitive behavioral therapy can help as can most forms of psychotherapy. If you are in a depression please get professional help from a psychiatrist or your family practitioner if medication is necessary. Include a healthy dose of laughter in your life daily. Learn the joy of laughing at yourself as you learn to not take yourself so seriously. Also do something every day to make yourself feel better.

Question 5

what can i do to better my self esteem?

Accepted Answer

Act on values: Act according to your values, time after time.  Set small goals, and meet them.  Break larger goals down into doable portions, and get there step by step.  As you live up to your own values and goals, your view of yourself becomes more positive.  "i am a person who gets up and gets a shower in the morning."  "i pay my bills on time, " etc. Avoid those who belittle you. Psychotherapy helps too!

Question 6

why does my self-esteem change so often?

Accepted Answer

Changes: Self esteem is a result of how one interprets the environment as it applies to the person.  As different things happen we reassess ourselves.  My guess is that you do not have a solid understanding or your particular strengths and weaknesses.  You may need counseling to clarify these and feel better about yourself.

Question 7

does self-esteem affect intellectual health?

Accepted Answer

Positive self esteem: helps emotional, physical and intellectual health and well being. Negative self esteem does the opposite.

Question 8

my bra is too big, my self esteem has lowered?

Accepted Answer

Breast size doesn't: Make the woman. Encourage you to get a bra that fits correctly and feels comfortable.  Carry yourself with confidence. Take care.

Question 9

how can i raise my self esteem and self confidence?

Accepted Answer

Be good, and learn!: There are many ways to have healthy self-esteem. Most agree that there are two broad components to self-esteem: (1) the view that I am a worthwhile or good person; and (2) the view that I have some competence (i know things or know how to do things). If people continue to strive to be virtuous or good and to learn and develop skills they will tend to have a positive self-concept. Striving is key.

Question 10

can you tell me how i could have better self esteem?

Accepted Answer

This is tough : since I dont know you or what you have going on medically or what stressors you face. Writing down a list of compliments and good things in your life/people is helpful. Try to draw out how you want your life to be and remember you can do anything. you need to try and get some help and education about what needs to be done and how to go about it. Dont give up, you are worth it.
